Anybody else experiencing game breaking bugs right now?
Like I can’t sell my stuff now, game will insta crash when I click on an item to sell, doesn’t matter which character’s backpack and doesn’t matter if I barter or trade. Also, it takes like 5 minutes before the vendors items or cash appears.
Characters won’t engage in combat at all and randomly. When I select them to engage an enemy, they teleport to another location and no matter what, they won’t attack. It’s like they are in another game entirely. I also can’t switch back to the characters that are in the fight.
Lot’s of freezing too. I have to save scum before entering any convo now as it might just lock me out of any action for 30 minutes or straight up crash. And my charisma Shadowheart is useless now since it’s always my Barb Half orc with 8 CHR talking no matter what. And this was an intended patch??? Wtf.
I’ve reinstalled the game for the patch and again yesterday with no changes. Any tips? The only thing I can think of is that it’s an old save, hadn’t played since october but it’s late act 3 and I just really want to finish this campaign.
edit: And when I mean crash, I mean the game loads up like it was the first time. All the tutorials are back and all my settings or keybindings are back to default. It just resets the game entirely.
Lamprey works pretty well. The one important thing to know is that you need to close it after deploying and THEN launch the game. Launching while lamprey is running can cause some issues.
140 gigs required aside the already present installation? Larian really doesn’t like it when I have anything other than BG3 on my hard drive. But I guess it has been weeks since they made me redownload the whole thing. Once again.
The game automatically selects your character in cutscenes now. For example when going to talk to Kagha for the first time you will automatically talk as your player character and not whoever might be your face. In this case my PC is a fighter and my face is Astarion as a lore bard. Needless to say I’m a little miffed that Arabella dies just because I can’t use my face to do his job.
So if you’re not playing a charisma character don’t even bother making one of your other characters a charisma character.
Edit: Also hide party now hides the whole party even when you are separated from everyone in a different group. That is kind of silly since it used to work that anyone grouped with you would hide if you hit hide party instead of the whole group. This was useful for two rogues cruising around. Now you have to use the hide button instead and do it for each individual you want to hide.
Seriously? That’s ridiculous. Part of the joy of D&D is having a varied group that can solve problems in different ways. Making everything about the player character is just stupid.
I think BG3 looks to satisfy both normies and D&D players. Myself i rather want this to be a thing but frankly it could had just been a setting somewhere so it could work for everyone
I admit, I really preferred how Owlcat’s Pathfinder games handled this, where skill checks are automatically taken by the party member with the highest relevant skill. Say, if a Persuasion check appears in dialog, the roll is made by the character with the highest Persuasion skill, without having to swap to that character. If a Strength or Agility check appears, the character with the highest stat makes the roll automatically.
There should at least be an option for this in BG3.
Usually I would have interpreted this as referring to a nude mod, but since that’s in vanilla BG3, I think it’s just a preemptive response to questions like “does that also mean mod XYZ?”
I wish they would just implement a proper mod management system. Mods add so much value to games, I don’t know why they tend to get treated like unwanted stepchildren
